Suzuki's fanciful, inexpensive city car gets a midlife refresh. It's not a hot-hatch, but it's capable of handling the tarmac in rural and urban areas well. And its tight turning circle makes driving around town a breeze.

The new model comes equipped with intelligent driver assistance and safety technology that includes lane departure warning and sleepiness detection alarm, which are both welcome enhancements for long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a vital security feature that will stop your Ignis being stolen while it's in drive. It's an important security measure, but it can be a pain when you have to go to a location and you are unable to unlock the wheel. Fortunately, there are easy steps you can take to fix the issue.

First, you'll want to make sure that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If you're sure, try turning the key in the direction you were turning it before the wheel locked up. This could be difficult, but it's typically enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel doesn't unlock, you could spray a small amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder, to lubricate it. Wear eye protection to prevent getting canned air in your face. Liquid graphite is also a good option to lubricate the cylinder.

If none of these works, you will need to replace the ignition assembly. This component is easy to find at any auto parts store. Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and compare it to your previous one. Also, be sure to take off the cover over the ignition to be able to see and access the ignition.

Worn

The steering lock can bind the ignition switch and cause the key to be stuck. This safety feature is designed to keep your Ignis from moving while the engine is running. If this happens, turning the steering wheel can free it.

Over time the Ignis keys wear out and become difficult to turn. This may not be the same as a faulty ignition switch, but it is a possibility that it will happen. If this is the situation you need to change your ignition key.

Find out if anything hinders your Ignis ignition key from gaining access to the cylinder. Sometimes, there may be debris or dirt that can be wedged inside and keep the key from turning as it should.

Then, you can try using a bit of grease to see if it can help. You can find a wide range of lubricants at your garage or in a local auto parts store.

A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is another option. These covers absorb light and then release it when the environment is murky or darker. They also protect your keys from wear and tear. They are available for most suzuki swift replacement key models, and can be purchased through the internet or from a nearby Suzuki dealership.

Bent

Keys can be bent over time. The teeth of the key may not engage with lock cylinders in the same manner. This can stop the key from turning. In this instance you'll need to replace the key. If you have a spare key, it is recommended to get it duplicated and keep it in a safe place.

Another possibility is that the ignition cylinder itself can wear out. The lock pins within the cylinder may get stuck or caught together, which prevents the key from going completely into or out of the cylinder. Removing the cylinder is a solution to this issue, however it is best to do it before the key is stuck in the ignition to avoid further damage.

If your keys from Ignis are stuck even after trying the simpler fixes it could be time to lubricate your cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite can allow the lock pins move more freely and free your key from binds. It is available at most auto parts stores. Be sure to place your Ignis in park prior to applying the fluid. Do not attempt manipulating the Ignis with your hands to free it. This could lead to more serious problems.

Broken

If you have tried all the simple things to make a key remove its stick but it's still unable to budge, the last resort is to apply oil to move it. You can purchase this lubricant at a local auto parts store and apply it using the help of a cotton swab or cotton swab to the inside the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread the fluid. If you can massage it forward, do so but be careful not to push too hard or you could break it in the cylinder.

The key's internal circuitry can be unable to function due to age and use. It's not as common and typically means that you'll need to get the key duplicated in order to get a new one.

In the end, the case of your Suzuki key fob could be damaged or worn out. This is more common when you use a cheaper keyfob that is a replica with an outer shell made of plastic or rubber. Depending on the situation, The Key Crew can sometimes change the internal circuitry of your old key fob into an appropriate shell case which means you don't have to purchase a completely new key fob.
